A Jamaica man was sentenced to 45 years in prison for stabbing to death his wife and their two daughters, ages 1 and 2, after he flew into a jealous rage, according to District Attorney Richard Brown.

Miguel Mejia-Ramos, 29, pleaded guilty last month to first-degree manslaughter in the killing of his wife, Deisy Garcia, 21, and their two children, prosecutors said. He allegedly stabbed Garcia and his daughters, Daniela and Yoselin Mejia, repeatedly with a kitchen knife sometime between Jan. 18 and 19.

He then tried to flee to Mexico, but was captured in Texas and arrested.

At the time of his arraignment, the District Attorney said Mejia-Ramos killed his girls because he didn’t have car seats to take them with him after committing the crime, according to published reports.

Following his arrest, he admitted that before killing his family, he had returned home drunk and looked through his wife’s phone, according to Brown. On the phone, he found a photo of his wife with another man and flew into a rage. Mejia-Ramos then grabbed the knife and stabbed his wife while she slept next to her children, then killed the girls.

The Jamaica woman whose husband killed her along with her two young daughters in January, filed a domestic-incident report months earlier, saying he might murder her, but the warning was overlooked because it was never translated, according to the New York Post.

After cops visited her home in May, Deisy Garcia filled out the state-mandated report in Spanish claiming that her husband, Miguel Mejia-Ramos, had assaulted her, the Post reported.

In the report, Garcia wrote that she feared her husband and believed he “was going to kill her as well as their kids because she loved them so much,” sources told the Post.

She also filed a report in November, which was never translated, the publication said. It is NYPD policy to have all reports translated into English, according to the Post.

Mejia-Ramos, 29, is accused of killing his 21-year-old wife and their children, Daniela Mejia, 2, and Yaslin Mejia, 1, inside of their Sutphin Boulevard apartment sometime between Jan. 18 and Jan. 19, according to prosecutors. Each victim had multiple stab wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene, according to police.

He allegedly came home Saturday night after drinking beer at a friend’s house, and went through his wife’s phone and Facebook account , where he found a photo of her and another man, prosecutors said. Mejia-Ramos then allegedly snapped and killed his wife, then fatally stabbed his daughters after first hugging and kissing them and asking for their “forgiveness.”

District Attorney Richard Brown reportedly said Mejia-Ramos killed his girls because he didn’t have car seats to take them with him after committing the crime. Mejia-Ramos was reportedly heading to Mexico when was caught in Texas.

Mejia-Ramos has been charged with first-degree and second-degree murder, and criminal possession of a weapon in connection to the killings.

“I met this morning with the family and close friends of Deisy Mejia who – together with her two infant daughters – were stabbed to death last weekend. We were joined by the Guatemalan Consul General. Everyone is, of course, devastated by that which occurred. I assured them that this case will be vigorously prosecuted and there will be no plea bargaining,” Brown said in a statement Friday.

If convicted, Mejia-Ramos faces life in prison without possibility of parole. He is due back in court on Feb. 14.
